Hier der Grund, warum der Verband der deutschen Oligarchen unbedingt die Brandmauer zur Afd einreißen will. Für die #Familienunternehmer ist eine immer stärker werdende Afd keine Bedrohung, ganz im Gegenteil. #TaxTheRich #AfdVerbot

🇬🇪 It’s been a year since continuous protests began in Georgia. On Nov 28, PM Irakli Kobakhidze announced that Georgia is halting its EU accession talks. The movement has faced brutal crackdowns, repression, and ever-stricter laws, yet the protests continue.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
